Event Details

Craftcation is an annual four day business + makers conference featuring industry professionals leading attendees in hands-on food & craft workshops and lectures and panels on creative business. Craftcation ignites the entrepreneurial spirit, strengthens craft and business skills and builds relationships in the creative community. If you’re a maker, blogger, creative entrepreneur, food artisan or a creative then join us for four inspiring days that you’ll never forget. Our next Craftcation is March 26-29, 2015 in Ventura, California.

Organizer

Craftcation is produced by Dear Handmade Life which provides creatives with community, education and inspiration to build passionate lives and businesses.

Over the last decade we’ve grown from our first event (a tiny craft show in a parking lot) into a destination for our thriving community of supportive creatives to find what they need to stop wishing and start doing.

For over a decade, we've been producing Patchwork Show: Modern Makers Festival, a biannual multi-city fair showcasing local emerging artists, crafters and designers alongside artisan food, DIY craft workshops, food trucks and music. In 2012 we started Craftcation: Business & Makers Conference, featuring industry professionals leading attendees in craft and small business workshops. We also share DIY craft projects, tips on creative entrepreneurship, recipes, our adventures and inspiration to make every day awesome on our blog plus share inspiring interviews on our podcast.
